Barn and Contents Near Lak THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, FRIDAY, JULY 27, 1928 Ls Recommend Installing Sanitary Conveniences Estate to Pay Costs Board of Health Send Queen [FINED $100 FOR Street Problem Back to City Council With Pro. posal -- Cost of Work Would Be Assessed Against Property in Tax: es -- If Action Not Taken Houses Will Be Com demned and the Tenants Qusted nding back to the city coun- a i Fy matter of the out- house nuisance on the Hewston estate, Queen street, the loca Board of Health in their regular July meeting last night passed a strong recommendation to the city fathers that they install the necessary = sanitary conveniences and charge them to the estate in taxes ,as provided for in the Prov- incial Health Act. Otherwise, ih houses will be declared condemne and the tenants ousted from them by police constables, if necessary. At the May meetings, the coun- cil considered a previous recoms= mendation of the Board of Health that the plumbing be installed and assessed against the property, but they finally adopted the recommen= dation of the finance committee that it was an unwise procedure, and referred the matter back to the board, saying that it wae a matter for prosecution under We Provincial Public Health Act, was the feeling of the aldermen that installation of plumbing id the city and charging the fos against the property in annual B- stallments would create a prece dent that might perhaps prove un- fortable later. eOgity Solicitor J. ¥, Grierson, K.C., representing Mrs, Hewston, and C. A, Gordon and Dr, AM, Heist, representing citizens in the vicinity ,appeared petore the Board and stated their sides of the case, The two reeidents strongly urged upon the Board the necessity of immediate action, while Col. Grierson said that the only reason the nuisance had not been abated by the estate was the legal tangle, which involves seve eral relatives of Mrs, Hewston, who claim a share in the estate. Two applications to high courts of the province have been made, for permission necessary to impose a mortgage on the porperty to make the improvements, and in both cases permission has heen refused,' At the request of the Board, Mr. Grierson gave his opinion of the hoard's powers as city solicitor, He said that, in his opinion, a good course to pursue would be . for the city to install the con- veniences and charge the cost toe the estate in taxes, or they could evict the tenants and close up Lhe houses as unfit for human habita- tion, The former action would not create a precedent, in his opin- ion, as there would not be auoth- re case where the estate was in- volved legally in such a manner, The matter was passed on to the city council, and the sanitary inspector was instructed to allix the necessary notices to the houses that, if plumbing fixtures are not intalled within 30 days, the houses will be declared condemned and closed against further habitation, Written notice has already been given to this effect and the tack- ing of placards on the houses is a necessary and final follow-up.

Considerable difficulty has been met with in securing the proper cotton discs on which sediment tests of milk are made, and no tests were made at all during the month of June, continued Mr. Van- zant. "The producers didn't take' much time to slip, either. There is almost a suspicion that outside influence has been brought to bear on the manufacturers of the discs, for we have been very late in get- ting delivery of the order," said the veterinary inspector, It was decided by the board to write other dairy supply firms in Toronto than the one from which the goods are now purchased, and also to the Guelph Agricultural College for information on the sub- ject. The text of the report reads: "During the month of July, my special attention was given to the slaughter house end of the work. This made necessary a total of 48 visits to the several slaughter houses, The extremely hot wea- ther, resultant in the rapid decom position of the blood, giving rise to foul odors, make satisfactory sanitary conditions a difficult mat- ter, as the arrangements in and around 'the local slaughter houses are usually not all that could be desired, "During the month, 250 animals, representing 57 cattle, 67 calves, 69 hogs, and BK7 lamhs were slaughtered. Of these, five of tne cattle showed lesions of T.B. in their livers. No evidence of dis- ease was found in either the calves hogs or lambs. A limited number of the cattle slaughtered were not up to the usual standard of qual- ity. "Ten visits were made to a like number of. dairy farms, four of these for the purpose of inspection to farms north of Brooklin, agd west of Whitby, from which milk is, or in a few days, will be sup- plied to the city's dairies. "In connection with these visits, I gave the T.B. Test to 24 cows, from which milk or cream is sup- plied to this city. These tests, resulted in two reactions. Six visits were made to the eity's dairies during the month. In cons nection with these visits, a total of 73 Sediment fests were made, "A large number of these tests were not up to the usual stand- ard of excellence. This very es- sential line of work has been some- whet neglected of late, owing to the apparent difficulty In getting the cotton discs. If this difieulty continues it would certainly be ad- visable for someone to visit the manufacturer or dealer in Toronto, and arrange for a steady supply."

He considers that research workers at the 0.A.C. could work out a means of using the all-penctrating rays to combat the worst agricultural scourge in Ontario, , _ Prof. Hamer would treat the grow- ing corn stalks just when the moths haye deposited their eggs and some larvae are burrowing into the stems. The borer eggs laryae would be destroyed by the powerful rays with- out injury to the corn itself. Professor Hamers idea, which he believes is worthy of a trial, is to use a portable battery of from six to eight tubes arranged vertically. Two sets could be arranged to give a cross fire effect, and would probably cover an asea of 50 feet, working directly on the cornstalks at full in- tensity, destroying eggs and larvae. Professor Hi: also bel +the HEAR ACCIDENT CASE ON MONDAY Leonard Ford Charged With Reckless Driving--Two Were Injured The case of the Crown versus Leonard Ford who is charged with reckless driving in connection with the accident which occurred over a month ago and resulted in the two Mackie brothers of Harmony, Murrell and Harold, being comn- fined to the Oshawa Hospital with serious injuries, will be opened on Monday evening with the court being held in the home of the Mackie boys in Harmony, at 7.30 o'clock in the evening. Ford was again arraigned on his charge before Magistrate Hind in police court this morning. It was learnéd at that time that the doc- tor's permission had now been given to let the boys give evidence although it was felt best to have the case heard in Harmony so as not to unduly disturb Harold who is still requiring attention, 8. B. Douglas of the firm, Swanson SAYS EMPLOYE OF CITY MOLESTED BY Sanitary Inspector Brings Matter to Attention of Times Weekly in Business Section That several members of the foreign population in the vicinity of the city dump had molested Mr, Drinkle, a city employe engaged in spreading disinfectant over the dump, and that they had thrown bottles and other missiles at hinr, was the statement made by bduui- tary Inspector D. A. Hubbell in connection with his report to the Board of Health last night. A: German, MacKenzie and Douglas is appearing for Ford, while Crown Attorney McGibbon is prosecuting. HEAVY SENTENCE 15 SUSPENDED John Blackwood Given a Chance--Two Charged With Beating Wives "I have no sympathy for cow- ards who take advantage of their wives to heat them up in such a manner as this, and I give fair warning to all those in future who appear on such charges as these, that no sympathy will be shown to them," sald Crown . Attorney Me- Gibbon in police court this morn- ing, when Cecil Weedmark and John Blackwood were arraigned before Magistrate Hind for beat- ing and causing hodily harm to their respective wives, Cecil Weedmark appeared this morning for sentence following his conviction last week, after he had been married to his wife for only two weeks and had just returned from his honeymoon. He had noth- ing to say this morning, except that he considered the whole af- fair a great disgrace to himself and that he promised from now on never to touch another drop. of liquor, while his wife concurred with him on this point. On the condition that he leave liquor strictly alone and keep the peace, particularly towards his wife, Magistrate Hind placed him under suspended sentence. The sentence which his Worship sus- pended and which will cause Weeu- mark to hesitate the next time he sees a liquor bottle, was two years of hard labor in the penitentiary with 20 lashes. John Blackwood, who was brought up for the first time this morning, pleaded guilty to his of- fence and stated that he was in- toxicated at the time. Extenuat- ing circumstances, however, may enter into the case, and his Wor- ship remanded Blackwood until August 2, when further informa- tion is expected to be at hand. SWEEPING EPIDEMIC DECIMATES INDIANS SPORT CARD Regina, July 26.--Reports that a virulent epidemic of influenza is sweeping over an area extending from the delta of the Mackenzie River in the Arctic to waterways ip Northern Alberta were confirm. ed today by Sergeant C.V. Mat. thews, who arrived here today from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police post at Fort Simpson. The death toll among some of the 11ndian tribes has been particularly severe, acgording to Sergeant Mats thews In the Fort Resolution district alone 30 deaths had heen reported before his departure, while he estimated that more than 75 percent of the Indians at Simpson were down with the disease. From information obtained from trap. pers and rivermen and through ex- change of wireless messages, he had ascertained that the epidemis had spread as far north as Aklavik in the Northwest Territories. The white population of the re- gion bas so far been immune, only one trapper at Simpson be- ing infected. BIG NEW BRUNSWICK LOBSTER (B; pve ud Fress Grand Ahi N.B, July 25---A lobster weighing 18 pounds was caught in Campobello waters recent- ly by William Matthews, of Wilson's h, and shipped to Grand Manan, where it was cured and made into a museum specimen. The crustacean was 38 inches long, the large claw being 11%; inches in length, six inches in width and holding two Muid quarts. These large lobsters have no rays would affect the mature grubs to such an extent that it would pre- vent them from reproducing. The cost of such treatment would have to be worked out, but in the opinion of the professor it would not be exorbitant as current could be at- tained through connection with a power line at a cost not much in ex- cess of that of spraying. 7 C cial value beyond that of a curiosity or museum i Two other lobsters, larger than this, were caught in the same local- ity some time ago. Taken within five years of each other, both were practically identical. They were 42 inches long and weighed 23 pounds. One of them is in the British muse- um and the other was purchased by William K. Vanderbilt. the suggestion of Dr. T. W. G. Mc- Kay, Medical Officer of Health, the matter will be referred to the Chief of Police, who will he requested to investigate the circumstances. In explaining the situation, Mr, Hubbell pointed out to the Board that numbergs of foreigners visit the dump periodically, fo secure all manner of articles from it, in- cluding mattresses and other things that they lug home and put to use. While Mr, Drinkle was spreading chloride of lime over the dump, in accordance with his in- structions and the usual practice, the foreigners refused to move out of his way, and finally com- menced to molest him. "A ter- rible situation exists at this dump," concluded Mr. Hubbell. The Sanitary Inspector also re- ferred to the urgent necessity for a collection of garbage thrice weekly in the business section, es- pecially from the rear of restaur- ants, ete. On motion of Dr. Me- Kay and Mayor Preston, a letter will be written to the city council urging immediate action on buth the situation at the dump and the garbage collection matter, which, the motion continues, is very es- sential in August and September. The suggested collection would be made on Monday, Wednesday and Saturdays during the summer, at an ertra cost of approximately $12 per week, « The report of D. A. Hubbell, sanitary inspector, reads: "I beg to submit herewith to your honorable body a report of activities during the month of July, 1028, which are as follows: "Placarded for contagion, 34; released from quarantine, 838; plumbing applications, 33; plumb- ing inspections, 72; inspection of cafes, ete, 66; fruit stores, 22; bakeries, 14; laundries, 18; butch- er shops, 12; general nuisances, 60; back yards, 52; notices sent out, 12; water samples sent for analysis, 52; milk samples sent in pfor analysis, 9; visits to the city garbage dumping ground, 7; to- tal, 501, "Plumbing permits Issued dur- ing the month, 33; representing, 356 stacks and 154 fixtures.

"I might say, gentlemen, that T have been awaiting some action on the part of the Board of Works, relative to the extra collection of garbage in the business section of the city as requested in my last report, and which was brought be- fore council, and I am told went to the Board of Works with power to act. The reason I speak of this particularly, is that the nrajor amount of complaints have been along this line. "The present condition of garbage dumping ground fs an- nther bone . of contention, and from that which I have witnessed and the information which has reached my ears, I would most cer- tainly adyise that immediate me- tion be taken in some way or other to eliminate the danger which at present exists." DRIVES MOTOR CAR WHILE INTOXICATED Ernest Tane Sentenced to Three Months for Third Offence For his third offence of being in- toxicated while in charge of an uu- tomobile, Ernest Tane was found guilty and sentenced to three months with hard labor in the County jail when" he appeared be- fore Magistrate Hind in police court this morning. Tane was re- manded over until today from July 10. He admitted having been con- victed on similar offences by Mag- istrate Hind on January 5, 1924, and May 11, 1927, but promised the court that henceforth he was going to leave liguor alone, since he had learned his lesson and was now well past middle age. In ad- dition to the three months, he was given the option of paying the costs of the prosecution amounting to $19.80, or spending an addi- tional seven days fn the jail. J. P. the FOREIGN CITIZENS | | Clarke. e Destroyed by Fire, Loss PAGE THREE $5,500 Building is Struck by Lightning, Crop of Hay Barn Owned By Alderman G. D. Conant and Rented By J. W. Clarke -- All Animals and Some Imple- ments Saved--DBolt Which Struck Barn Forked and Struck Transfomer on a Hydro Pole -- Motor Pumper Stuck in Mud, is Extricated By Horse Sav- ed from Fire Struck by lightning about ten o'clock this morning, a barn on Simcoe street south, between Ce- dardale and the Lake, was totally destroyed by fire, together with the season's crop of hay and scme implements. The barn is owned by Alderman G. D. Conant, and is en the farm tenanted by J. W. Mr. Clarke places his loss at $500, with no insurance, whie Mr Conant's loss is given to The Times as $5,000, with some in- surance. All of the animals in the barn at the time, and a number of imple- ments were saved through the ef- forts of neighbors and an electric lacomotive crew of the Oshawa Railway Company, who were pass- ing the farm when he fire staiv i. The lightning holt that struck the barn forked and struck a hydro transformer pole, which burned for about five minutes before the pouring rain extinguished it. The bolt burned out the transformer fuse and left the residence of Mr, Conant without electric current for a short time, The electric locomotive which was within a few feet of this pole when it was struck, was not damaged, as the bolt apparently did not jump to the high-tension trolley line. The fire quickly destroyed the barn, but as there were no huild- ings near it, and a dense rain was falling, no other buidlings were endangered, The nimals taken out of the hurning buflding includ- ed six horses, a calf, a pig and a bull, while the implements saved included a manure spreader, bind- er, wagons and other machines, as well as nearly all of the harness, While gqing up a laneway in an endeavor to lay a second line of hose to the building, the motor pumper was stuck {in the deep mud. Considerable effort was ex- pended in trying to free it, then nme of the horses, saved from the building, in gratitude, perhaps, for his escape, pulled with a will when hitched on the machine and witn the help of the engine's own power drew it out Two lines of hose were finally laid, from a Simcoe street hydrant, but nothing could be done to save the building. -------------------- FOUR YOUTHS TOLD T0 LEAVE CITY Magistrate Allows Them 15 Minutes to Get Out of the City Four French Canadian youths, not too well dressed and apparent- ly of the wandering type, were given 15 minutes to get out of Oshawa and make tracks for Mont- real when they appeared before Magistrate Hind in police court this morning. They were picked up at the Canadian National Railway's yards here last Monday night and were remanded until today on a charge of vagrancy. Their records were looked into in the meantime and one of them although nineteen years of age was found to have al- ready served time for various of- fences in the province of Quebec. Only one of the four boys who were aged 17, 18, 19 and 20 years, could speak English at all fluent- ly. The remainder had to be toid by their English speaking com- rade, in French, what the Magis- trate had to tell them. On the Jromise that they would return me and do so in an honest man- ner, Magistrate Hind imposed no sentence but warned the boys that they would never get off so easily if they came before his notice for such an offence again, The boys gave their names as Dave Badu- champ, Lionel Leduc, Albert Tes- sier and Walter Quinn. 4 SENATOR JACQUES BUREAU GIVES NOTICE OF APFEAL Regina, Sask., July 26.--Notice of appeal has been served by Sen- ator Jacques Bureau against the judgment of the Saskatchewan Court of Appeal ordering a new trial after a jury had given nim $1,500 damages on his $16,000 slander action against Milton Campbell, M.P., for Mackenzie, and W. J. Smith, his agent. The ap- peal will be heard at the next ses- sion of the Supreme Court in Ot- tawa. The original action followed statements alleged to have been made by Smith and supported by Campbell at a political meeting held in Quill Lake, in the Domin- ion election campaign of 1926. "and implements Burned BRITISH CHIEF WHIP BECOMES DRASTIC WITH TORY BARONET London, July 26.--Unusual dis- ciplinary action has been taken by the Government Chief Whip, in re- moving from his list of members receiving notices from the Whips the name of Sir Basil Peto, Con- servative member for Barnstaple. This action is tantamount to ex- pulsion of Sir Basil from the Con- servative party. Apparently the Whips were 'dis- satisfied with Peto's activities in® opposing the Government, notably n pressing the claims of the South Irish Loyalists for compensation, in opposing the adoption of the race-track totalisator bill and in promoting the movement for the extension of the safeguarding of industries system. This irritation is said to have come to a climax last night, when Sir Basil moved an embarrassing resolution after the majority of the Government supporters had departed from the house. Sir Basil recelved his baronetey in 1927, "for political and publie services." OUEBEC MURDER PROVES MYSTERY Wife of Boat Captain Found Sitting Upright in Chair Sorel, Que., July 26.-- Provincial and local police investigators ard as yet undecided as to how Mrs Daniel Fraser, wife of Captai Daniel Fraser, commander of thd S. 8, Gaspesia, whose dead body was found in her home here last Tuesday, met death. It has not yet been determined whether the wos man committed suicide or was the victim of foul play. Investigations so far tend to show that Mrs. Fraser met death at hands other than her own, : On Tuesday, July 18, Captain Fraser left here for Montreal fo Join his ship which plys hetween that port and Newfoundland, On Wednesday, July 19, Mrs, Fraser was seen alive hy several friends, hut from then until the time of the discovery of her body, sitting in an upright position in a plush upholstered chair, she appears to have disappeared from sight.
